The Mafia can learn from Obama and the Dems.
Let’s spend our way out of debt.
Well, the simple - and correct - response to this is for Texas to tell the Feds to keep their money.
Only when states are willing to do this, will they begin to break free from the ever-increasing tentacles of federal control.
Unconstitutional bill of attainer.
GRAFT: (2)1. To take illicit or unfair advantage of an office or a position of trust for personal gain.
2. Property thus acquired, eg; Texas
sounds like yet another state will be filing suit against the federal government. sooner or later, you think that the “smart kids” in the white house would begin to scratch their heads simply over how much time it has to spend in court fighting it’s own states.
Ping.
I can't stand the pathetic excuse of a POTUS.
He's not...if you consider the states he's screwing with, AZ, TX, the lack of response after the TN flooding, the weak response in LA after the drilling rig blowout, all went R during the 2008 election..it might be payback.
Waiting to see how he's going to respond to the MO vote on Obanana care.
Reminds me of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, where they threatened to withhold federal highway funds from any state that did not raise the age to 21.
Sadly it worked then, and probably will now.
The list, ping
“How can he single out a state?! “
He can’t constitutionally, but then again he also can’t constitutionally spend money on education.
Texas should simply refuses to allow Federal Taxes to be payed.
We should also add this to the list of impeachable offenses.
Of course, the same needs to happen all across the country. If even a few states passed such a law, the media couldn't ignore it, and the American people would take notice. So start petitioning your legislators, FReepers!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Time to secede! Im done. My state would be so much better off on it’s own. Time to light up the phones in Austin.
The Feds do it all the time if you don't spend fed money on projects you get no more fed money It's where they have the states over the barrel on welfare,housing, abortion and even road construction ... even though road construction is part of the feds job in certain cases they still hold out till the states ask for cash then they start barking on deals
I know it happens here in Ohio every 2 or 3 years maybe even more now that so many are unemployed through Terd Strickland's idiocy
Tecnicaly Perry can do what perry does best and tell a little
The good news is the Texas legislator did successfully divert the money taxed from Texas to sure up the State’s finances last year and this is why the fascist Rep Lloyd Alton Doggett of Austin should be condemned all around the State of Texas as a Traitor!
Perry should do what he does best tell the Feds what they want to hear so he can grab the money and run. Then Texas can then spend the money on the more prudent task of shoring up State government funding to enable and maintain tax cuts.
FYI nullification of unconstitutional Federal domestic policy intrusions.
To hell with the O-hole. Texas needs to be a Republic again.
Obama&Co. are the Mafia look how they operate.
The tricky SOb’s snuck nazi education initiatives crap into a jobs bill?
So Gov. Perry...Obama must not have read your letter...?
Obama is “over the top” in several areas now.
